ROOF LIGHTS

FRONT ROOF LIGHT

The lens can be set to three positions:
❒ right side pressed: light always on
❒ left side pressed: light always off
❒ central position (neutral): the light switches on and

off when the doors are opened or closed.

IMPORTANT Before getting out of the car, make
sure that the switch is in the central position: ensure
that lights are off with doors closed in order to
avoid draining the battery.
On some versions, the lights switch on and off only
when the front driver side door is opened or closed.
When the doors are released with the remote
control, a timer will be activated for about 10
seconds. When locking the doors using the remote
control, the roof light goes off.

Roof light timing (lens central position)

Three different switching-on modes are provided:
❒ when opening one door a three-minute timer will

start, which restarts each time a door is opened;

❒ a timer of about 10 seconds will start when the

ignition key is removed within two minutes from
turning the engine off;

❒ a timer of about 10 seconds will start when the

doors are opened (either by remote control or
key in driver’s door).

Three modes are provided for switching off:
❒ when all doors are closed, the 3-minute timer will

stop and a 10-second one will start. This timer will
stop when the key is turned to MAR;

❒ when doors are locked (either with remote

control or with key on driver side door), the roof
light turns off.

❒ the courtesy lights are turned off in any case after

15 minutes to preserve battery duration

LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT ROOF LIGHT

For versions fitted with boot light, the light comes
on automatically when the tailgate is opened and
it will go off when it is closed.
